Application led May 27, 1913. Serial No. 770,284.

l,and has for its object theprovision of a r simple and practical device of this character thereby n lfountaix-l pen clips and holders which are tain. pen in having means sfor,` securely retaining a founv'pocket or other position, and thereby guarding againstaecidental loss or dropping of the pen.

In addition to its viding means for safely carrying and holding, afountain pen, the present invention has in View aA device that is so constructed as to constitute a complete case or holder 'for the pen so that it `Will be held in such a manner as to make it impossible for the cap part of .the en to be separated from the body pari op the pen in the handling thereof, -distinguishing from that class of attached directly to the fountain pen cap and'therebyf do not prevent the accidental separationof the cap from the body ot the pen, and consequently the dropping ot the pen attimes on that account.

' these and' such other objects in view that are necessarily incident to a device of theabove character, the present invention consists in the -novel construction, combination, and arrangement oit' parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated, and

.A I claimed.,

A preferable embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective vienr of a founpen holderconstructed in accordance .with the present invention. Fig. 2 is a lon- 'tudinal sectional View thereof showing by l and dotted lines respectively the manner in which thecomplete pen is retained with' inthe holder and the manner in which it: is

genera-li object.y of' pro-V removed therefrom. F ig. 3 is a detail view illustrating the manner o clipping or securing thc holder within a pocket.

Like reference characters designate corresponding parts in the several ligures of the drawings.

The device as an entirety may be referred to as a holding bracket consisting of a main supporting strip designated by the numeral 1, a stationary cap piece 2 at one extremity ot' 'the strip and a socket, member 3 at the opposite end of the strip. The said strip 1 preferably consists oi a single piece of sheet metal concave orconvex in cross section to conform to the curature oi the fountain pen, and of a length somewhat greater than the normal length of the conventional fountain pen. The said cappiece is rigidly united to one end oi the strip l and is of a dished t'orin to constitute a. receiving socket for the cap portion of the fountain pen, while the opposite end of `the fountain pen is adapted to be received within the inner open end portion oi the socket member 3 and to bear against a follower plate 4 loosely arranged within the socket member 3 and nornlally held under spring pressure or tension by a presser spring interposed between the said plate 4. and the betteln of the socket member 3.

1Vhcn inserting a pen in place, one end thereot' is inserted into the socket member B and pressed against the plate it suliciently ro bring the opposite end of the fountain pen into the plane o l the cap piece Q so that by re1easin the hold on the fountain pen the spring o and plate l will move itI into the retained position shown in Fig. To re lease the fountain pen, it is simply necessary to move the same longitudinally against the presser spring 5 solas to release the same :from engagement with the cap piece The supporting strip l has fitted thereto a fastening clip G preferably oi the spring type and adapted to be engaged with the edge of a pocket or other receptacle as shown in -Fig 3 of the drawings, or attached in any convenient position on or 'about any part of y a garment.

What I claim is: gzuinentlaitaching device carried by Said A fountain pen-ho1der comprising a supstiip. 10 poi-ting strip having at its upper end a fixed In iesiimony whereof I affix iny signature dished cap piece, and at its lower end a fixed in presence of two witnesses. cylindrical socket member,v a spring pressed GEORGE @AFPS BEIDLER. follower pla/ce confined Within said socket Witnesses: and. adapted to force a pen into holding en- JOHN VATTs,
